Quick question. has anyone been shipping since last week? Any fedex (overnight) delayed? I only had one package that I shipped last week within my state (NJ) without problem.
Is it safe to ship this week. Fedex have some delayed Around Memphis hub and they’re 1 week backed up according to the shipping website.

-thanks in advance.

I received a shipment from Fear Not on the east coast here in CA. It made it overnight, but got to my home much later in the day than what is typical. USPS has been very very delayed for things coming from the east.

Not sure if it applies here but our print-mail center (we have a very big FedEx account) notifies us immediately when there are any kinds of disruptions with services and we haven’t heard anything last week and so far.

Yeah usually they’ll send email or text whenever there’s delay in transit. Sometimes I do receive them. I just don’t like when someone pay overnight and package deliver 2 days. They don’t even refund for overnight or refund the difference for 2 day. Unfortunately.

USPS priority 2-3 days doesn’t seems to exist anymore. They’ll arrive 5-7 days or more. Ordered roach and it arrive 9 days good thing is only few casualties among the bunch.

Without a big corporate account it is unfortunately hard to pressure them. So far the only real issues I experienced were with USPS. I guess like most workplace nowadays Covid might have some unintended side effects and sometimes impact deliveries or transport.

Agree. They used to be okay and hopefully things will be back to normal once the pandemic is over (which might take a while :( )

Shipping companies won't give you a refund if it's weather related delays or mechanical issues.Those are unforeseen issues that they can't control.Unless your talking about the USPS, they're just terrible!

They should eat each other, lol. No dead ones should be found.
